Harry Potter is read more by adults than kids
By M&C News Jun 17, 2007, 14:39 GMT
According to an online article in The Sun, more adults read Harry Potter than kids. They say that now with the forthcoming Book Seven’s release on July 21, the demands from adults have been greater than from kids, so much that they even designed a different version of the book’s cover, calling it “the adult cover.”
The article states that many adults are not “comfortable” with having a cover to their book geared for people younger than they are. What ever happened to the advice of not judging a book by its cover?

They already knew that adults liked Harry Potter. They've had the 'adult' covers published ever since 2001. So this article is really not telling the truth. Book Seven didn't start that trend.
